I know we're waiting on a proper Nvflash, but still it's not a guarantee from what I can see, which would make the triple bios and extra goodies on the classy useless like you said. But I suppose it is only a matter of time since we're simply waiting on one thing now.
 
I keep telling myself to be content with the reference boards, but it isn't worth ignoring the coil whine in my particular case which leads me to want to get a classy. They will probably be in stock before the cards I ordered will.

The way things are going, It would Not surprise me if EVGA/Nvidia announced that Another variant of the GTX 980 (or even a Titan?) will be in production soon.
 
It's getting to the point where I don't know whether to "Poop or go Blind" from the stress of just waiting for the Classified Version to appear.

At the very least we have an end of October date, but a specific day and price reveal for your 'patient' customers would be great now EVGA. :)

I think it would be fitting (For Myself) if the Specific day and price reveal will be on Halloween  October 31. LOL!

I had a 980 ( on order ) until they cancelled the payment and put it on back order.
I feel like I need to buy a ticket first saying I have the rights to buy a Classified when it hits! :)

I will die of stress if it's released on Halloween. So far away. And if I can't get one... R.I.P.

will the 980 classy work with the existing EVBOTs?

I'm pretty sure The EVBot Firmware has to be updated to work with the New GTX 980 Classifieds.
 
My EVBot Firmware is version 031 which was used for my EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Edition Cards.
 
I have already PM'd TiN at Kingpincooling.com to try and get the right version to make the EVBot work with the upcoming EVGA GTX 980 Classified Cards and am waiting for his reply.

Thanks.  Been using it on these 3 kingpins (and needed new firmware for that at the time) with various bioses.  Hopefully one of the 3 bioses on the 980C has a decent TDP and/or nvflash is updated for maxwell.
